HOW MANY WAYS ARE THERE TO BE BORN AGAIN?

The specific question from the audience listening to The Everlasting Gospel social media broadcast was about the new birth. It was rephrased into a more simple general question about eternal life that could be answered in plain speech of a "pure language!"

Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. ~ 2 THESSALONIANS 2 [LJCV]

HOW MANY WAYS ARE THERE TO BE BORN AGAIN?

The short answer to this question is ONE WAY! ...Just 2 words ~ ONE WAY!

Nevertheless, it does not suffice those that have errored from the faith of Jesus and now honestly seek a remedy for misleading, and being deceived into obedience to the commandment of false prophets, false teachers, and deceivers which was foretold by Jesus. We all, by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the Holy Scriptures, have been warned to believe not every spirit, but try the spirit, to see whether it be of God!

However, the question speaks of initiation rite in the religious sense... Being converted from one state of being to another... It speaks of resurrection and the passage from death into eternal life!

Now to get right to the point, there is only one place in the scriptures where all can read what Jesus says about being born again which constitutes the new birth ~ JOHN 3 [LJCV].

However, the ordinance that Jesus instituted through the apostles is found "here a little and there a little" by rightly dividing the word of truth. So, then the ordinance used to perform the baptism sacrament is as critically important as the gospel message and the commandment to REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED!

The specific purpose of the ordinance for the water baptism is for the unity of the faith in Jesus' righteousness, and to be added to his church that he is building, clearly identified by name according to the scriptures as THE CHURCH OF GOD IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST... This is the ensign banner name and standard on the wall for Jerusalem!

The 21-word ordinance Jesus used to baptize his disciples was used by the disciples to make him disciples that follow after to eternal life... I BAPTIZE YOU IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY GHOST LORD JESUS CHRIST ...It creates just ONE WAY to enter into everlasting life!

This is the strait gate and the narrow way that leadeth unto life eternal. This is the commandment every living soul is called to by the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ! ...This is the way, the truth, and the life! This is the entrance into the kingdom of God to be sought after to fulfill his righteousness!

It is the will of God, that the complete fullness of his name under heaven as given among men by the word of angels, be used explicitly for the water baptism. The 15 anointed living letters of his complete name are the key

God name denotes grace, being 3 words and 4 syllables! The 5 anointed living letters for the word grace have 5 corresponding numbers that add to 34 = (g)7+(r)18+(a)1+(c)3+(e)5... It is the name of the Saviour and the Son of the Father!

Moreover, his name invokes REMISSION OF ALL SIN WITH THE CHARGE BE HOLY!

Lord Jesus Christ is the name of the Saviour that the gospel of grace and the kingdom of God tells you to believe in ~ JOHN 6 [LJCV] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life... MARK 16 [LJCV] He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned... JOHN 3 [LJCV] He that believeth on him is not condemned. But he that believeth not is condemned already because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God... JOHN 3 [LJCV] He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life. And he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Apostle Paul and Silas after the earthquake broke down the jail that restrained them they told the jailer in ACTS 16 [LJCV] ~ Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes, and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

The baptism waters are for separation from all that is not of the Father and the wrath of God ~ 1 John 2 [LJCV] For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is not of the Father but is of the world.

Moreover, the waters of separation typified by the baptism for repentance and remission of sins also signifies the believer putting off the sins of the body, the works of the flesh that wars with the Spirit and death as the penalty for sins once appointed to all flesh born of a woman few days and full of trouble!

The body of sins, works of the flesh, and the death penalty for sins constitute the old man that is put off. Once put off by water baptism, innocence is reborn in the life of the redeemed soul and they put on the Lord Jesus Christ which typifies resurrection to walk in the newness of life!

His righteousness by faith unto holiness according to godliness is fulfilled to save the soul to the uttermost!

Furthermore, the Son of the Father must baptize the believer with the Holy Ghost that they are marked in their forehead and seal of the living God which reads ~ GRACE SAVED CHILD

Bear in mind Apostle Peter rehearsed the matter of the Gentiles being granted repentance unto life, saying, as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.

That is to say, on the day of Pentecost when it fully came, Jesus baptized the assembly of 120 souls gathered together with one accord in one place... ACTS 2 [LJCV] ~ And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Apostle Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how that Jesus said, John indeed baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Gentiles were baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost LORD JESUS CHRIST! The Gentiles were added to the same church body ~ THE CHURCH OF GOD IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

In conclusion, there is only one way to be born again. It is by water and Spirit according to JOHN 3 [LJCV] whereby believers make a covenant through repentance and remission of sins with God the Father for eternal life witnessed by three on earth ~ the Spirit, the water, the blood, and these three agree in one!
